The 7-inch iPad rumor rises again, but this time it’s not just talk of a mini USB port. According to component makers in Taiwan, the new Apple iPad will have a retina display and 128GB of internal storage – all in a little 7-inch package. Additionally, the new iPad will be coming with a camera,…
Verizon is pushing its Droid series once again in a new commercial that shows off the always expanding Android Market. In it, we see the Droid 2 and the Droid X, along with a free application called Lookout Mobile Security – a security app that lets you back up data, remote wipe a lost phone,…
Nokia has updated its iSync software for Mac and now supports the new N8. If you’re a Mac owner, you’re probably all too familiar with the pain of being unable to easily sync non-iPhone/iPod devices to your computer. Third-party software doesn’t make it any better, either. Just look at how long it took BlackBerry Desktop…
We recently heard about LightSquared and its plans to build a wholesale 4G or LTE network, but it didn’t take too long before it decided to make mobile phones that will be compatible with that network. It’s a wise move on Nokia’s part since LightSquared plans on covering about 260 million people in the U.S.…

One fool-proof gadget that will guarantee social acceptance is the iPhone. Sure, BlackBerry is wildly popular as a messaging…
Windows Phone 7 has yet to inspire much confidence in anyone, but it’s probably unfair to judge so quickly since it won’t be officially unveiled until Monday. Still, there have been plenty of previews and demos of the platform that some have felt confident enough to say that WP7 will “flounder.” As a matter of…
The T-Mobile G2 gives us a little reminder in the joys of owning an Android handset. If your Android smartphone isn’t trying to self-destruct after a hack attempt, it will fix itself instead. Although both results are not really the desired end goal for a would-be hacker, I’d choose the latter. And the latter is…
AT&T has just announced the USBConnect Shockwave, its first mobile broadband modem that will allow users to connect to the carrier’s upcoming HSPA+ network.
